Cooling Off

It has been HOT! We've been to our local pools several times (juggling 2 kids at the pool means I have zero chance to take pics, so just use your imagination), but I needed something a little lower key today. So we filled up a baby pool and turned on the sprinkler and both boys had an awesome time.

Pup Recovering

Ty had major leg surgery last week and will be recovering for the rest of the summer. After a rough first few days, he's now doing really well and even walking around the house a bit. He's not allowed to walk outside for more than a minute or so at a time and he has to wear that horrible cone when we can't keep an eye on him. So even though he must feel miserable, he's still smiling! What a dog he is.

Still looking after his boys though

We also have to make sure that he doesn't try to jump up on the furniture, so part of our Ty-proofing was to push two of the sofas together. Instant indoor bounce house!

Balls and bubbles in the bath

Yep, just for fun!

Crawling! (and some other crazy forms of movement too)

We never shy away from good, messy fun

Water table + baking soda + liquid watercolors + dropper of vinegar = hours of fun. We call it the volcano water table. And it all washed away with a hose!

Happy Father's Day!

We were back to Camp for Father's Day weekend. Along with some other goodies, Daddy got a framed set of photos I took of the boys. These 3 framed side by side:

A Walk in the Woods

A beautiful day with both boys so we hit the woods for a little hike. The ferns were spectacular - Ty and Connor could hardly contain themselves to stay close enough where I could keep an eye on them.

Taking care of his buddies

Connor wrapped a blanket himself to carry his two best buddies, Gingy and Peppermint, around with him. I helped him a bit with getting it fashioned into a sling and he even took them along on our walk that evening. Preschool babywearing!
